Upgrade advise?

[John24]

Hi, could do with some guidence on an upgrade for my brov.

Currently he's got a HD 6450, Athlon II x4 620 @ 3.4GHz and 22" 1080p screen.

These are the games he plays, apparently only one of them he can play at full Res/Settings.

Need for Speed Underground
Need for Speed Underground 2
Grid
Grid 2
Dirt Showdown
Driver San Francisco
Sims 2 Pets
GTA San Andreas
Off Road Drive
Battlefield Free To Play

Need something that will play all that on full settings and also be quiet at idle because my parents use the system too. Budget is whatever is needed to acheive this without getting something overkill.

Also not sure if the CPU is holding that card back or if it would hold back a new one, I could push the OC a bit more if it would help. Any advise appreciated.

IIRC the CPU only has another 1-200MHz in it with much more volts, would a 7750 be enough to run those games on max providing the CPU wasn't a bottleneck?

Ok cheers arc.

Comparing the spec a 7750 has 4x as many Stream Processors, GDDR5 and a 128-Bit Memory Interface so I'm guessing it would be a decent jump, not sure if it's a big enough jump though. Hopefully someone will be able to clarify.

Thanks for the link but it's just confused me further lol.

I still don't know if a 7750 is good enough to play those games at full settings. He will inherit my x6 Phenom when I upgrade so I don't want to be buying him a new CPU aswell.
